Spy pic sans the disguise was taken at the photoshoot of the X5. Look at the hood scoop, looks like the current generation M3... Nice, I just dont know whether its the iS series or the regular ones...

OT:

arnab, where's the LX?

LX didn yet start testing its LX/VX 570 yet. Will get pics soon GTI, after one quarter of producing the Tundra they are going to get direct feed back on the new 5.7 V8 engine and then on Lexus will final its plans to start testing that engine on the new Chassis which will be also manufactured in North America along with the Sequoa, which looks from now they will market the FJ Cruiser as thr LAND CRUISER and will take out the LC from Toyota and just market the Sequoa and make the LX 570 which will look significantly different from the Sequoa. But Toyota is always good at keeping secrets, so until final marketing press brief, we will never know. Sorry for the OT,

Yes you can get 350hp with the X5 3.0d 286 hp standard version if you ask dmsautomotive from England to change the ECU.

they don change it, they just re-map the ECU .......you need to change it when you upgrade to FI and do some serious mods......

by the way the current X5 3.0 Diesel produces 218 bhp, next generation will have the engine from 535d and 735d etc... the 3.0 bi-turbo, amazing how Diesels has also become a demanding choice for performance drivers....

yes but I guess you must go to a tuner to output 350 hp from the engine.On the market there is also the 740d in Europe 330 hp 4.0 liters v8.Let's wait for a 400 hp Diesel by AMG
